How do you get you're icon in World of Warcraft to do motions?

Meeting new people in real-life is intimidating enough. How do you introduce yourself? How do you start a conversation?

Thankfully, chatting in World of Warcraft is easier and more casual than anything you’d encounter in the real world. Usually, in-game chat is text-based. You will see other people’s public conversations scrolling down in the game’s chat window, and if you feel like it, you can jump in anytime and either add something to an ongoing discussion or start a conversation about a new topic.

The standard public chat channels are General, Trade, Local Defense, Looking For Group, and Guild Recruitment. You can join and leave these channels at will, and all players can chat there as well. These channels are mostly intended to provide players with proper channels for specific topics such as item trading or guild recruitment.

You can also create your own custom chat channels. The obvious advantage of a custom channel is privacy; only people in that channel will be able to read the conversations going on there. You can also moderate these channels, meaning that you can invite, remove, mute, or otherwise moderate chat in your channel if you want.

Instead of typing words to chat with other players, you can also use World of Warcraft’s built-in voice chat system to talk. All you need is a headset or a microphone and speakers. Talking is a much faster way to communicate than typing; in the heat of battle, you may not have time to type out what you want to say.
